Now In Print: Everything You’ve Heard About Uncle Remus Is Wrong

Written on August 30, 2010 at 9:36 am, by Lain

I've wanted the Wren's Nest to put out a newspaper for a few years now.

Joel Chandler Harris cut his teeth as a printer's devil for a newspaper before making a name for himself at the Savannah Morning News and the Atlanta Constitution. Newsprint seemed like an appropriate marketing gimmick, but that was about as far as we got.

When Huey + Partners surprised us with these awesome print advertisements, it was clear we had to use them somehow.

While we sat on our hands, Noisy Decent Graphics and McSweeney's created their own delightful, short-run newspapers.

Then earlier this year Lauren over at Lampe-Farley read "Everything You've Heard About Uncle Remus Is Wrong" and was all like, "Hey idiot! This is your newspaper right here." And you know what? She was right, for a few of reasons.

• Amelia's mom had already said the same thing. • Some folks have no idea who Uncle Remus is. • Some folks are uncomfortable talking about Uncle Remus. • Some folks think Uncle Remus is NOT OK. • The essay's been popular online, but many readers drop out after Part 1.

It seemed like a great way to marry marketing and mission, so we put Lauren to work. A few weeks later, our newspaper was born:

Thanks to Greg at Lampe-Farley for the video.

The whole paper looks great, but I'm especially happy that Zach from Crafty Mice let us use his Brer Rabbit poster to serve as the centerfold. This photograph doesn't do it justice, but I'm gonna show it to you anyway.

We had our newspapers printed just in time for the Decatur Book Festival. Naturally, we're bringing in a scrappy team of newsies to distribute the thing.

If you can't make it to the festival, send your address to lain@wrensnestonline.com, and I'll mail you a copy.

What do y'all think? Will people pick this up? Or will I be making a lot of hats and boats all winter?

Mrsa Treatment Bactrim

Written on June 9, 2010 at 1:34 pm, by Lain

Last night's episode of Glee got off on the right foot with a snarky nod to Song of the South Mrsa treatment bactrim, . Bactrim ds 800 mg, Sue Sylvester, the deliciously evil cheerleading coach, bactrim online, Cheap bactrim online, takes a shot at Will Schuster, the dopey glee coach:

"Your hair looks like a briar patch. I keep expecting racist, bactrim reactions, Bactrim fever, animated Disney characters to pop up and start singing about living on the bayou."

Gosh, I'm not sure whether to buy Sue a drank or punch her in the throat, bactrim for children. Sinus infection bactrim, I'm thankful that the writers at Fox (a) finally made a fresh joke about Will's hair; (b) specified that the racist characters are Disney's; and (c) had Sue Sylvester deliver the line on the season finale.

Yet as much as I like getting folks to think about the Uncle Remus stories, bactrim manufacturer, Bactrim thrombocytopenia, I can't say that I'm thrilled that this dimension of Song of the South is being perpetuated in prime time. Sue Sylvester is always over the top, and this is no exception, mrsa treatment bactrim. But given the film's, bactrim more drug_uses, Bactrim expiration, uh, reputation I don't think people will take it as such, bactrim sulfa drug. Bactrim lyme disease, And seriously, how many people watch Glee, bactrim for folliculitis. Topical bactrim, Millions.

How many people have watched this video of Akbar telling the story of Brer Rabbit and the Briar Patch, pcp bactrim. Bactrim dc, Like, 4, bactrim net. Bactrim oral suspension, And half of them can't tie their shoes.

It's awesome that Glee provided such a great reference to Brer Rabbit, but it's a shame that it further brands him as something so negative.

Also, can we talk about how it's at least a little ironic that a show so reliant on stereotypes is calling out other stereotypes.

Penicillin 250 Mg

Written on April 5, 2010 at 8:07 am, by Lain

Before Johnny Depp's role as Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, there was Jack Sparrow, keflex 500 mg qid, Keflex capsules 500mg, original gangsta, from the Uncle Remus story "The Fate of Mr, keflex 500 mg dosage. Penicillin v 250 mg, Jack Sparrow."

Curtis tells a wonderful version of the story. As Uncle Remus explains, Jack Sparrow is a tattler who meets his demise whilst tattling atop Brer Fox's snout, penicillin 250 mg.

I guess the little boy hadn't seen The Wire yet, keflex pulvules 500mg. Pen vk 250,

Disney put out both Pirates of the Caribbean and that movie based on the Brer Rabbit tales -- oh, what is it called again, pen vee k 250 mg. Keflex 500 mg qid, -- but I think the similarities may stop there. Then again, cephalexin 500 mg for dogs, Keflex 100 mg, I haven't seen the Pirates films so what do I know. Can anyone who has seen 'em connect the dots?

Joel Chandler Harris offers this note on the text at the end of the story:

Penicillin Vk 500mg

Written on March 31, 2010 at 11:41 am, by Lain

Twitter is a phenomenal tool for listening.

Penicillin vk 500mg, For example, are people talking about Joel Chandler Harris. Pen vk 250, Not that much. Song of the South, keflex 500 mg qid. Keflex 500 mg dosage, Sure, especially with the release of the Princess and the Frog on DVD, keflex 500mg dosage. Keflex 100 mg, What about Uncle Remus?

Like you wouldn't believe.

Uncle Remus Chicken & BBQ is, according to many on Chicago's West Side, penicillin v 250 mg, Pen vee k 250 mg, "the business."

See what I mean?

Whenever I look at my saved search for "Uncle Remus" on Tweetdeck, I have to wade through unending praise of Uncle Remus Chicken & BBQ, amoxicillin 500 mg sinus infection. Either that or comparisons to its nearest competitor, Harold's Chicken Shack, on the South Side.

So on a recent trip to Chicago, Amelia and I just had to try it out, pen vk 250. Keflex capsules 500mg, Accompanied by intrepid blog commenter Joe, Brer Lion shirt-owner Heather, keflex pulvules 500mg, Cephalexin 500 mg for dogs, and another guy named Joe, we set out for the W, keflex 500 mg qid. Keflex 750 mg dosage, Madison location.

There's no seating inside Uncle Remus. You read the menu that's written on the wall in a shade of orange so neon that I think I contracted epilepsy on the spot, keflex 500mg dosage. Penicillin vk 500mg, The extremely reasonable prices, however, made up for it. Amoxicillin 500 mg sinus infection, Once you decide on your order, you give it to someone behind a large pane of glass, keflex capsules 500mg. Pen vee k 250 mg, I gave our order to a lady wearing a shirt that said "Auntie Uncle Remus."

While you wait (a surprisingly long time) you can either watch 'em fry everything up through the glass or stand awkwardly in the corner next to an inexplicably placed map. We chose the latter.

Auntie Uncle Remus finally called our number, penicillin v 250 mg, Keflex pulvules 500mg, and we received our chicken through a 12" x 12" hole that sits about 6 feet off the ground. It has something of a speakeasy quality to it.

We took the chicken to nearby Garfield Park to enjoy a little picnic before hitting up the Conservatory.

The verdict. A resounding "meh."

The mild sauce, occasionally referred to as "crack sauce," is what keeps folks coming back, penicillin vk 500mg. It's pretty good, pen vk 250, Keflex 500 mg qid, and the chicken is better than this picture would have you believe. We did not bother with the fries (and recommend that you do the same). If you factor in the price, it's a pretty good value. That said, I'll take the Busy Bee Cafe any day of the week.

Still, given the name, the product, and the experience, I think we all agree:

Strengthening my point, keflex capsules 500mg. Pen vk 250 mg, Someone is "caught red-headed" in this tale. Keflex 250, This guy knows what I'm talking about.

Dollar a Minute

Brer Rabbit
[audio:huckleberryrabbit.mp3]

And this is just the tip of the iceberg, penicillin v 250 mg. Keflex 500 mg qid, It seemed a little excessive to post the entire album, but after listening further -- well, pen vee k 250 mg, Cephalexin 500 mg for dogs, it may just have to be done. We owe it to Huckleberry, keflex 750 mg dosage. Keflex pulvules 500mg, Thanks to the wonderful folks at Wax n' Facts for giving us a copy of this album and piquing our interest. It took us a while to track down the, keflex 100 mg, Keflex 750 mg dosage, uh, tracks, cephalexin 500 mg for dogs, but man alive am I glad we did.

 Where can i buy azithromycin, Black Uncle Remus in central square,

Somebody took the rocker off the rocking chair.

You rarely recall the catfish catchin'

When you're living in the Briar Patches.

His tears have rusted his banjo strings, keflex 750 mg dosage.  Keflex capsules 500mg, You start calling for Jesus or your Mama maybe

Augmentin 875 Mg Tablets

Written on January 5, 2010 at 10:22 am, by Lain

Augmentin 875 mg tablets, Henry F. Gilbert, augmentin 375 mg, Augmentin for ear infections, an important early 20th Century American composer, augmentin 825 mg, Augmentin gram negative, collected scores of African-American folk songs and aspired to write an opera called Uncle Remus.

I swear I'm not messing with y'all, augmentin and birth control pills. Augmentin 375, Gilbert never secured the rights to the Uncle Remus tales and couldn't complete his opera, but he did write its prelude, augmentin for tooth abscess. Gilbert derived these two songs, performed here by Nadia and Vladimir Zaitsev in 2004, from the prelude --

Nadia and Vladimir Zaitsev -- "Uncle Remus"

Nadia and Vladimir Zaitsev -- "Brer Rabbit"

Thanks to Fleur de Son Classics for permission to use the music, augmentin 875 mg tablets. Augmentin 875-125 mg, If you like it, consider ordering the album here, buy cheap generic augmentin online. Augmentin 750, The Uncle Remus prelude premiered at a Central Park concert in New York in August of 1910. 4, augmentin 875 mg price, Augmentin 825, 000 people attended.

The Boston Symphony performed the prelude the following year, generic augmentin 875. Augmentin 875 mg tablets, Some people objected to the jaunty ragtime rhythms, but most responded positively "to the youthful vigor, the racy humor and the romantic nature of this new music." Philip Hale, in the Boston Herald of April 14, 1911, wrote:

"The overture stirred the blood of the audience. Augmentin xr 1000 mg, All rejoiced in hearing a new voice with something to say and an original way of saying it. The fugue did not dampen the interest of the hearers, augmentin for ear infection, Augmentin 625 duo, for the old form was used with dramatic spirit. No wonder that the audience, augmentin 375 mg, Augmentin for tooth infection, surprised and delighted, was for once in no hurry to leave the hall, augmentin gram negative. Augmentin xr 1000 mg, [...] The overture is distinctively, but not bumptiously, augmentin 375, Augmentin 800 mg, not apologetically, American."

Gilbert was one of the first American composers to break free of the Germanic style of classical music, augmentin 875-125 mg. For Gilbert, African-American folk music was a great source of inspiration and "seemed closely related to the spirit of all America."

Gosh, sounds a lot like Joel Chandler Harris who, regarding A.B. Frost's illustrations of Brer Rabbit and his critter friends, augmentin 800, remarked: "We shall then have real American stuff, illustrated in real American style." Shame he wasn't around to hear the soundtrack... embedded in a blog post... on the internet. Augmentin 875 mg tablets, Really woulda blown his mind.
